Any white folk here feel offended?Yes, I am offended. We should picket all of their games and burn the team jersey. >sarcasm<
Actually, I find it hilarious. Maybe when they see how whites are not outraged they will see how silly all of this pc overkill really is.

Maybe the mascot can be some cartoonish portrayal of a white guy walking stiffly in a business suit carrying a briefcase LOL, I like that one.

to parlay our likenesses into the sports arena."
Note to distressed liberal--lighten up.

It will be hilarious when the Fighing Whities start winning. I can see the headlines now:
Whities Dominate Redskins
Whities Inialate Indians

Works for me. Maybe the mascot can be some cartoonish portrayal of a white guy walking stiffly in a business suit carrying a briefcase or engaged in some productive trade Heck, we've got the mascot already created. Just need to dig deep into the "where are they now" bin....

Actually the Cowboys, Vikings, Indians, Illini are acceptable. The "Whities" is a racial slur.

Any white folk here feel offended? Nope. I reckon white skin must be thick.

white guy walking stiffly in a business suit carrying a briefcase or engaged in some productive trade The most quoted phrase on this thread!
Yeah, I like it. And "whities" should show how non-offended we are at the mascott name. They think white people will be offended and see how awful it is to be portrayed as a mascott.
All it's going to do is show how petty the mascott rub is when whites are not offended.

Any white folk here feel offended? Eleven white folk have responded so far--all negatively (i.e., none have been offended). The only valid conclusion I can see is that white folk, without exception, are insensitive.

Make that 12 without any offense taken.
